Stylet Method:
An alternative to intubating with a bougie
is to intubate using a styleted endotracheal tube. Our
rigid stylet is the recommended choice but you may use
an appropriately shaped malleable stylet as well.
a.
Ensure that the distal tip of the stylet
DOES
NOT
extend pass the distal tip of the endotracheal tube.
b.
After locating the vocal cords on the display,
keep your eyes on the PATIENT when inserting the
styleted endotracheal tube into the mouth. Observe
the endotracheal tube passing into the oropharynx,
then look at the display. Watch for the distal tip of
the endotracheal tube to enter the lower right hand
corner of the display. Once you see it, then steer the
endotracheal tube toward the glottis.
c.
Withdraw the stylet slightly if necessary to pass
the tip of the endotracheal tube into the glottis.
DO NOT
allow the stylet to enter the glottis.
d.
Remove the stylet and verify proper
endotracheal tube placement.
e.
The reusable rigid stylet must be cleaned via
the method below after every use.
